The 21st century has witnessed a downward trend in air quality around the globe. To solve this major and urgent issue, the idea of everyone becoming veganism was generated. There have been numerous controversies surrounding this suggestion. Besides the variety of advantages to peoples health, the effect of veganism on the world economy is undeniable. According to the World Economic Forum, there is a proportional trend between the number of vegan individuals and the number of tax revenues for governments (WorldEconomicForum, 2018). The globe will engender plant-based economies for nations as the figure of a vegan diet increases. This plant-based economic trend will save an enormous amount of money that governments can use later on. This amount of money can be spent on improving the environment. Money can be used to build incineration plants, where waste is being burned down by 90 percent (TheStraitsTimes, 2018). These incineration plants have already existed in Singapore and are useful when taking Singapore to one of the world’s cleanest countries. By following a vegan diet, individuals are helping their own countries in the journey of cleaning and consuming rubbish including plastic and food waste. Together, veganism can bring an exclusive benefit to the environment according to economists views. However, on the other hand, veganism is threatening Mother Earth by increasing the level of soil erosion and degradation. There are three typical kinds of soil in agricultural which are grazing l
and, perennial cropland, and cultivated cropland (PBS, 2016). These types of soil are detached based on their function in farming. According to the research conducted by PSB – The Public Broadcasting Service in America, a vegan diet does not utilize perennial cropland it owns the biggest area of all three categories (PBS, 2016). This action leads to the consequence of wasting useful land while the two consumed types of land do not provide nutrients at the beginning of the seasons crops. Nonperennial crops which are grazing land and cultivated cropland are usually frozen in springtime. Consequently, these crops will flow down into the river, taking the nutrients with them. Moreover, as time goes by, without being used by humans, corn earworms or corn rootworms can appear and reproduce in perennial crops. These insects are not only destroying farming yield but also taking all the nutrients and vitamins away (Guardians, 2018). Therefore, after some time, this type of cropland might never be able to be used for farming anymore as there will be no vitamin left. This is an alarming problem that the vegan diet is facing. As a result, veganism can lead to a lack of nutrients in vegetables as well as land waste around the world. In conclusion, the trend of individuals becoming veganism can exert an essential advantage to the world economy as countries will earn larger amounts of tax revenue. Besides that, people following a vegan diet can create harmfulness to crops as well as wasting helpful land.
